So, does anyone know what all is planned for us this week? I feel a little out of the loop, since almost all the info I've needed I've had to call about...very little emailing. For Wednesday, are we to go home and then come back for the ceremony? My family is all coming in, and I don't know what to tell them.
Also, are there events (besides the dinner on Thurs) planned? I've heard of some ppl doing bbq's or bowling, etc but nothing from OSU.
Also, do we need our textbooks by the end of this week, and will reading be assigned over the weekend for Monday? I hope not, I have more family coming over the weekend.
The time just flew by didn't it???
There are social events scheduled for all three nights. One is sponsored by student council, one by AMA-MSS, and one by AMSA. The social events are usually at a bar (sometimes they rent out a room) and have free food and drink specials.
Tomorrow (Wed): You will be free after lunch until the White Coat Ceremony, so you will have time to go home. The social event (if you choose to go) will probably not start until 8 or so, but you can go later if you want to dinner with your family. Last year, I went right when it started and nobody was there. A lot of people showed up later.
Thursday: There is an information fair in the afternoon - should wrap up fairly early (I'm thinking by 2). The faculty dinner is that evening (seems like I heard 7 - 9, but don't quote me on that). After that, will be another social event.
Friday: Will probably be your latest of the days, but still should be done by 2 or 3. There is a used book sale, computer set up, activity fair, and something else in the afternoon. Again, there will be a social event somewhere, probably starting at 9 or so.
Books - You will probably want to get your anatomy texts and packet on Friday afternoon. There is SO much assigned reading for anatomy that it would help you out a little bit to at least do monday's reading. You won't feel as lost in lecture on Monday if you have already done the reading. You certainly don't HAVE to do the reading and I don't think anybody expects you to spend your weekend studying. At the very least, though, I would try and look over the assigned reading in the Dissector so you have some idea of what you are doing in lab.
